With due regard to Dick and the just-departed Mary, Gomez and Tish were the greatest sitcom married couple ever.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:14pm Charlie:

andhello thatpat:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:19pm Charlie:

Parq I totally agree :)
Avatar 12:23pm annie:

would you happen to be playing "never on sunday" from the movie?
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:24pm doctorjazz:

Some Monkey Business.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm Webhamster Henry:

Never On Sunday has lyrics, probably there's a version in Greek.
Avatar 12:24pm Carmichael:

OK, finally made it. Commenting on the wrong page ... D'oh! Love the Goffin/King.
  12:24pm Listening Out There:

Neato. I'd read that Carole King wrote for The Monkees, but had never heard any of the originals...
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:26pm doctorjazz:

I believe The Barry Sisters do a version of Never On Sunday in Yiddish (have memories of my mother playing the record).
Avatar 12:26pm Carmichael:

@Listening: Google The Brill Building, it will open your eyes about the bubble gum music of the 60s.
Avatar 12:27pm annie:

yes, there is Henry, it was my favorite record to listen to when i was young
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:28pm Charlie:

annie -- I don't have that one:|
  12:29pm jan:

great show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:29pm Charlie:

Greetings Henry and Carmichael and Listening Out There :)
  12:30pm goyim in the am:

Does a bigger Equals fan than me (but I'm getting there) know if Eddy Grant lead vocals are a rare thing on their recordings, or just the ones I've heard before? That ruled!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:30pm Webhamster Henry:

The Yiddish version would be the most WFMU-ish!

Man had a lot of bases covered.
Avatar 12:36pm annie:

ha! and here's the album: www.youtube.com...

man, i played this over and over, we were soundtrack/broadway lovers in our house.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:36pm Little Danny:

I just checked and Sunday is the most popular theme/title in my iTunes music library, followed by Saturday, followed by Monday. Wednesday is the least popular - I guess it's the least poignant
  12:37pm Listening Out There:

Ray Stevens was more than "Guitarzan." You intellectuals...

Jeff -- you win the "Close Listening of the Day" award:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:48pm Charlie:

james -- lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:54pm Webhamster Henry:

I'm glad you got to this Charlie - there's also Cole Porter's Sunday Morning Breakfast time, incase you are stuck for more early 20th century Sundays.
Avatar 12:55pm Carmichael:

The Clique's Sugar on Sunday?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Charlie:

Henry -- thanks for the suggestion of that song (Jean Goldkette) -- I'd never heard it before!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Charlie:

Carmichael -- stay tuned...

Hello Ladyyyyy.

Nice lady... (your rumble seat is showing)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:59pm Parq:

From that Small Faces, "neighbors/ravers" was another pretty good rhyme.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:00pm listener james from westwood:

Camera cuts to flashback of Dean Martin cutting Lewis's brake line.
  1:01pm goyim in the am:

Dead hooligans! Dead hooligans!
Avatar 1:02pm Jeff:

When I heard this Jerry Lewis song begin, at first I thought it was the Animaniacs - which just shows to go you how well Yakko Wakko and Dot clove unto to their original influences.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:02pm Charlie:

youse guys crack me up
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:02pm listener james from westwood:

Not to be confused with Randolph Scott!
"Randolph Scott?!"
[all rise]
"Ran-dolph Scott!"
Avatar 1:03pm Carmichael:

Paul Lynde! Holy moly, a blast from the past. Used to love his kaftans.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:04pm Parq:

Jeff, I'm sure that Mr. Director would agree with you.
Avatar 1:05pm Carmichael:

Have never heard this version. Saw Tommy James last summer, and he played this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:10pm Brian in UK:

@james was it in Blazing Saddles that the line 'You would do it for Randolph Scott' came from?
  1:10pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Howdy all Busy Nothingers. So Charlie...To riff on Rex, is everyday Sunday to a cat?
Avatar 1:11pm Carmichael:

@UK Brian: They stood at attention and placed their hats on their hearts when they heard the revered name of Randolph Scott.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:12pm Charlie:

Hey there Kevin! That is a good question...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:12pm Charlie:

(playing this song mainly to set up the next song)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:12pm Brian in UK:

@Carmichael Do you live in San Diego?
Avatar 1:13pm βrian:

Lost in meetings, I missed Amadou & Mariam. Ugh.
Avatar 1:13pm Carmichael:

No Brian, up north in the lovely state capitol of Sacramento.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:13pm Brian in UK:

...or Sacramento?
Avatar 1:14pm Jeff:

From the first thwacks (by Peter Behrens?) I knew what this was.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm Brian in UK:

Was wondering, our daughter is going to SD for a conference later this year.
Avatar 1:14pm βrian:

Is Sacramento outside of the Great Tsunami zone?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm Charlie:

Hey ßrian -- you'll have to catch it on the archive...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm Charlie:

Jeff -- very distinct sound
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:17pm Brian in UK:

Do not understand how state capitols work?
Avatar 1:17pm βrian:

Brexit Song: "Let me in, Let me out."
  1:18pm goyim in the am:

Kevin -- it is to this cat named Morrissey.
Avatar 1:19pm βrian:

The capitols usually just sit there impassively. They're really just buildings.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Brian in UK:

My manners. Hello Charlie.

It almost looks like Battersea Power Station in the photograph but not quite.
Avatar 1:20pm Carmichael:

Sacramento is in a fertile valley midway between the ocean and Nevada, and midway between Lake Tahoe and San Francisco. No threat of tsunamis, just overflowing rivers about now.
Avatar 1:22pm Roberto:

Nooo I wanted to hear that!
Avatar 1:22pm Roberto:

Although this is good too.
Avatar 1:23pm Roberto:

Maybe you could have played the alternate version -- Is She Really Going Out With Him (on a Sunday)?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm melinda:

hi gang! just got my laptop back, upgraded and with more memory!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm Charlie:

@ßrian -- actually, it is!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm Charlie:

got the pic from this site: spitalfieldslife.com -- under "photographs" and pix of old foggy smoggy London or something like that...
Avatar 1:28pm annie:

yay, melinda!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30pm Charlie:

happy for you, melinda:)
Avatar 1:32pm βrian:

If I want to get more memory than I have in my 2011 MacBook, I have to wait for the next MacBook version, to be released in late 2017, they say. Is that goofy, or what?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:35pm Charlie:

@ßrian -- spitalfieldslife.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:37pm Parq:

Carmen Mac's version of that terrific Duke song is one of the best.
Avatar 1:38pm βrian:

Is that a pig-shaped barrage balloon between the third and fourth smokestacks?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm Charlie:

ßrian -- lol -- it's the original cover shoot for Pink Floyd's Animals
Avatar 1:40pm βrian:

That pic is dated 1910, so I guess not.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:45pm Webhamster Henry:

Björk does a great Gloomy Sunday, you really want to kill yourself!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:46pm Charlie:

It *is* the Hungarian suicide song, after all;)

Cheerful "Gloomy"...

Are you getting to Easter Sunday (1935) Brecht/Eisler (Dagmar Krause has a good one, but there are many versions)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:48pm Webhamster Henry:

I'll shut up now.

Michael -- I don't think I know other Magnapop -- should I check?
Avatar 1:58pm βrian:

Sunday is a day of foreboding.
Avatar 2:00pm βrian:

Let us turn our thoughts to sundaes, then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:00pm listener james from westwood:

Charlie I'll have to listen. It's been a while! They were from Athens I recall and I liked the vocals and energy of the band. Oh and thanks for bringing the Funday.
